Spring lineup

All stripes on deck! Your go-to basics are stepping up for a season of pattern play. First up: the blazer, which gets reinvented this spring. In color, pattern, and soft fabrications, blazers are sure to replace cardigans as your essential coverup—for work and after hours. See how we’re mixing it up for spring.

The Short Suit

We, too, are daunted by the prospect of wearing shorts in public. But the blazer makes all the difference. Now you’re pulled together and polished while showing some skin. For those blessed with great gams, it’s a modern alternative to the sundress with cardigan.

Fancy Pants

Pattern is the new color where denim is concerned. (Note how the floral print is more pronounced farther down the leg, for a figure-flattering effect.) Balance the bold bottom with a skinny stripe on top.
